Speaker 1 (00:21):
Hey, everybody, Kate de lady, hanging with all of you
across this great nation here on ATM the Charcuterie Board
of Talk Radio. It was all about time when it
comes to what happened in the last couple of days
the World Championships. The US won four gold medals. We're
talking about pool splash, splash stuff, including the great Katie
(00:43):
Ledecci her thrilling win in the women's eight hundred meter freestyle.
She claimed it the reason for the clock with a
record time. She's like a fish, this girl, the way
she cuts through the water. She represents the US. So
so well, we will go deeper into this, we'll get
(01:05):
into the man cave. But there is no question it
was really fun to see what she was able to do.
So I'm going to say, Usa, Usa, baby all the way. Yep, exactly.
(01:25):
So some of the struggles maybe were over. You know,
there was a lot of criticism about the swimmers and
going into this and what was going to happen, especially
after the Paris Olympics, which they had the lowest tally
of Olympic gold medals in the pool since nineteen eighty eight.
But I say give them some space and let them breathe,
(01:47):
because there were some really really good moments for the US.
They finished top of the swimming medal table at the
World Aquatics Championships on Sunday despite a slow stone, So
that is the good news. Meanwhile, onto life stuff that
is really sad, and we've been talking about this a lot.
(02:09):
Seeing the faces of those babies and the starving people
in Gaza not lost on the President. He mentioned it,
of course, and that was part of what I call
the Sunday swirl, the conversation over what's happening, what's important.
Is there going to be some kind of a deal
with Israel and will there be more humanitarian a that
will pour in for these people who are losing children
(02:33):
right and left, and not to mention adults as well.
So Avril Benoit, who is the US CEO of Doctors
Without Borders, was on ABC and I happened to catch
a slice of her conversation. She paints the real picture
of what she's seeing.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
People are starving, people are desperate. The patients that we're
seeing are malnourished. We have seen women deliver premium. Surely
the newborns are at risk because the mothers don't have
enough nutrition themselves to breastfeed even premature babies at much
higher numbers than you would normally see. We're also seeing
(03:12):
people coming in with all the catastrophic injuries that you
would expect in an open zone of air strikes and
continuing hostilities. They're coming in with those trauma injuries, third
degree burns to their entire bodies, children with their faces
blown off, all the major orthopedic cases. The trauma and
(03:32):
their bodies are not strong enough to even fight.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, And part of this, of course goes back to
is there going to big deal and all or nothing
deal in Gaza? So after months of work on a
ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza that appears like
it's in an impasse, we've got officials from the US
and from Israel that are saying they're going to push
for this comprehensive agreement to end the war, just shifting
(04:02):
into let's go all the way through. Steve Wikoff, the
Trump Administration's envoyd to the Middle East, said we gotta
shift this to kind of an all or nothing scenario.
So Prime Minister Benjamin Ett Yahoo and President Trump are
supposedly working on this deal that they're going to present
to Hamas with that ultimatum, release the remaining hostages agree
(04:23):
to the terms that would disarm the group, or Israel's
military campaign will continue. And of course then that's what
happens with this global criticism over the starvation in Gaza
and the pressure to do something about it. But so
much of this still stems on releasing the hostages that
(04:48):
are at least the twenty hostages that Israel belieze are
still living in what appears to be an underground tunnel.
Let's see what happens this week, because I think the
pressure is on, it's being turned up. Will Hamas respond?
Will there be an all un nothing deal? Who knows?
It's a great big question mark. Meanwhile, you have the
(05:12):
story of Jelaanne Maxwell, who's moved to a more minimum
secure prison in Texas. In fact, Elizabeth Holmes is there,
if you remember her, she's there, and there's a couple
other well known prisoners, female prisoners as well. The President
was asked again heading into the weekend by somebody who
(05:34):
interviewed him on Newsmax about whether there would be a
pardon in the offing.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I'm allowed to do it, but nobody's asked me to
do it.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I know nothing about it.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
I don't know anything about the case, but I know
I have the right to do it.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
And that's true. He does have the right. We know
that any president has that power. There's been so much
reaction to that, so you know, she is serving a
twenty year sentence for sex trafficking. She did meet, as
we all know, with the Department of Justice for two
days to answer a whole bunch of questions, but then
she was quietly moved to a different prison, like I said,
(06:15):
in Texas that is far different from the one that
she was in. Like I mentioned, the founder of Farronos,
Elizabeth Holmes, is one of the people that is in
that prison. So does that signal anything or does it
mean nothing? Who knows? There is so much push for
(06:37):
this release of more information with Epstein, and yet nothing
will happen congressionally because of the break until after Labor Day.
From that point of view, will something else happen in between?
I mean, you got to remember this, Maxwell enticed groomed,
in fact, minor girls to be abused in multiple ways.
(07:00):
She would befriend a bunch of victims, asked them about
their lives or schools, their families, all of that, and
got ensnared into this horrific, horrific trap. So she of
course has asked the Supreme Court to overturn her sex
trafficking conviction, which I don't see that happening, but will
(07:21):
there there was an early push for that, but will
there be a pardon? And again you heard the President
said he hasn't been approached. I definitely believe that. And
that's where it stands at this point. What's some good news, Allred?
(07:45):
A couple of pieces of good news. One if you
had on your list, Hey, Fantastic four h thumbs up.
We went to see The Fantastic Four over the weekend.
It was very good. It was clever, it was well done.
I mean, it's typical of what you would see, but
I think the acting was so strong and it it
How did that really pulled me in? I thought it was.
(08:08):
It was good. I give it A. I definitely give
it an A, not an A plus, but I definitely
give it an A if we were grading on that curve.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
All right.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
So the other good news is the Devilwars Prada too.
We're into the sequels and the revisiting originals. I think
it's more revisiting originals like Happy Gilmore two, So it's
not so much sequel, but like Jurassic which has so
many here's Part three, four or five, all that kind
of stuff. It's more the second part of the Devilwars
(08:37):
Prada because Meryl Streep and Halfaway, Stanley Tucci, they've all
been filming in Manhattan, remember the first one, which was
in two thousand and six gross three hundred and twenty
six million worldwide. I think people really want a two,
and they're bringing back the original stars in that, so
good for them. Odds and ends on the flip.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Baby if you mean ever won dude, wonder whatever became
of me?
Speaker 6 (09:17):
I'm living on the air in Cincinnati, Cincinnati WKRP.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Oh yeah, wk RP, which was such a popular show
in the eighties. I want to say it was eighties. Yeah.
Lonnie Anderson, who played a struggling radio stations receptionist really
put her on the map. It was a hit TV
comedy series WKRP in Cincinnati. You just heard the opening song.
(09:50):
They would play it in the beginning, they would play
it during the credits too. It aired actually from seventy
eight to eighty two, and it was set in a
live Ohio radio station trying to reinvent itself with rock music.
There's a lot of really well known people that were
in it that went on to big careers, like Jane
(10:10):
Smithers and Howard Hessman, and of course Lonnie Anderson was
one of them. She died just days before her eightieth
birthday after a prolonged illness, according to her publicists. And
that role earned her two Emmy Awards and three Gold
(10:30):
Globe nominations or two, yeah, two Emmy Awards and three
Gold Globe nominations. So and then she was on the
big screen beside who would become her husband, Bert Reynolds,
at one point in her life. And really it was
just interesting to see the path that she went in,
(10:52):
including she had a son, Quinton Anderson Reynolds, and some
grandkids and all kinds of things. But she was a
fixture for a while and then kind of disappeared maybe
in the late nineties, and every once in a while
she would pop up somewhere. So rip to Lannie Anderson,
(11:14):
who was an original sex symbol, and it's funny WKRP.
The first radio station that I worked in was ACRN
in Ohio in Athens, Ohio on the campus, but it
was it was broadcast in Wheeling, West Virginia and other places,
and in its own little way, it reminded me of WUKRP.
(11:38):
So I thought that was pretty interesting. How about this
scary moment a little boy six years old almost pulled
into a tank by an octopus. Yeah, that's a mic
drop moment, a scary one. It was just a simple
trip to the aquarium and then the six year old
(11:59):
this is insane and Antonio, like I said, was in
the touch tank, was in the touch tank area doing
what they normally do, touching the octopus. But then suddenly
little Leo found that his arm in the tank was
being wrapped up by the octopus's tentacles, got around him
and wouldn't let him go. This happened last month. Britney Tarn.
(12:23):
His mother said this about what happened and what she
thinks they should do.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
This is definitely on the aquarium and we're hoping to
see change.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, she thinks that you can't do that because his
arm just covered in bumps, red welts from the octopus,
and plus it was just so scary everybody. There was
a couple of people that were working there that had
to help pull the octopus away from him. The first
person couldn't even remove the tentacles from him. He calls
(12:55):
from back for backup. They brought ice packs to distract
the octopus, but nothing was happening, and it took three
employees to free little Leo. Here's what he said about
his buddy afterwards. It's one of my friends, so I
like when I see it. So he said, hey, no
(13:16):
offense to the octopus. I like him, he's my friend.
I thought that was cute when he said it, but
it was really scary to see. It's really scary to
see his arm. The boy said, he only feels pain
for the octopus, but he does have those bruises, right,
And I'm sure they're going to do something, and usually
octopuses are gentle. But it just shows you, they said,
(13:40):
they think, and who knows? Right? Are we do? We
have an octopus brain?
Speaker 7 (13:44):
Do we know?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It was overstimulated, is the best guess. And the aquarium
was in compliance with all the inspections everything. It was
just a freak thing that happened, a really tense, kind
of crazy freak thing. There's no question I would be
I would be worried if I was there and I'd
(14:05):
be trying to help and nothing was happening. And that's
what that's what they deal was. They just could not
get the little boy free from the grip of the
tentacles of the octopus. Time for some birthdays. All right,
(14:33):
as far as birthdays go, let's see if you know
any of these birthday people. All right, this guy is
forty eight years old. He's forty eight years old. Let's
just say he played for in his college years, he
(14:56):
played for Notre Dame. He sent everything that he could
think of to scouts so that he would get that
not Notre Dame Michigan. He sent everything he could out
to scouts to try to get a place on a
good college team. And it took forever, but after playing
(15:17):
college football for the Wolverines, he was selected one hundred
and ninety ninth overall by the Patriots. There's your hint
in the sixth round of the two thousand NFL Draft.
He became one of the biggest NFL draft steals ever ever.
Think about this. Nine super Bowl appearances, six super Bowl titles,
(15:40):
NFL records galore. Incredible, I mean absolutely incredible. And that
would be Tom Brady, he retires. He spent his first
twenty seasons with the New England Patriots. Then he goes
on for his final three seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
and some people say he's the goat the greatest of
(16:00):
all time. And then he decides to go in the booth.
And I thought it was good because he was getting
criticized a lot. How he handled some of that criticism
even deciding to do that.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Listen, I just don't get it.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I mean, Tom Brady, the broadcaster, guy's got everything in
the world.
Speaker 9 (16:18):
Why do it?
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Tommy?
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Why?
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Yeah, Tommy the guy who took a couple of snaps
and juco once answers, why don't you lay on a
beach getting fat on pina coladas?
Speaker 9 (16:28):
Why not buy a soccer tank?
Speaker 8 (16:29):
Got one? Dude?
Speaker 10 (16:30):
Why would they ask?
Speaker 8 (16:31):
Why what are they even talking about?
Speaker 9 (16:32):
Kid?
Speaker 6 (16:33):
What what they're really asking is why don't you quit football?
They don't understand that you live and breathe for.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
Football because you're Tom freaking Brady.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
In our football journey isn't even close to done.
Speaker 8 (16:46):
One day, maybe the greatest ever was back to work.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
So while he's forty eight, this woman celebrated her eighty
fourth birthday. She did a little jail time for some
insider trading. People thought that that was unfair and she
was railroaded in the first place. But she's an American
retail businesswoman, writer, television personality, the founder of Martha Stewart
(17:18):
Living Omnimedia. Here she is teaching Shanaia Twain on one
of her shows how to make the perfect grilled cheese sandwich.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Well, this is one of the thirty things that you
really should know how to make anything.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Kind of gore mat grilled chees sandwich.
Speaker 10 (17:34):
Girl chee sandwiches, you know, are one of the most
popular sandwiches in America.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
In Canada, Oh, it's a big thing. Yeah, hot chocolate
and grilled chees sandwiches.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Oh, hot chocolate and girl cheeseh oh No, we always
have tomatoes, soup and grilled cheese sanwich. Oh.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
Oh, that's a great one.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I'm still trying to get over the hot chocolate and
grilled cheese sandwiches. What remember it was back in two
thousand and four she was convicted of obstructing justice lining
to investigators about a stock sale. So it's just five
in West Virginia prison. But that really helped take down
some of that of that Martha Stewart living empire. But
(18:08):
you know what, she bounced back in a very very
big way. She always finds her footing. There is something
about Martha Stewart. Can't keep a good woman down. And
how many in her lifestyle brand, how many cookbooks, cook wear,
all kinds of things did she sell? And she really
(18:30):
believes in all of that. I mean yes, with the
whole business side of her, but she believed in the
in the cooking, in the growing things. I mean that
was real. I don't know how you could fake that.
And The Martha Stewart Show, The Cooking Show aired from
two thousand and five to twenty twelve, at one point
(18:52):
on various networks. So an interesting life, that's for sure. Hey,
if you miss anything, remember you can always go to
Kate Delaney Radio with extra Sauce.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
This sauce.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Again, it's Kay Delaney Radio with extra sauce, this sauce.
So we're talking Apple, we're talking Spotify, any place where
you have podcasts, easy to go there. All roads lead
in that direction. And you got the highlights with the sauce.
You can also get the full atn show two plenty
ways to get it. Hopefully you get everything you need
(19:27):
from these fabulous affiliates, but hey, we miss things, and
if you only hear a tiny bit of something, you
want to hear the rest of it. That's a good
way to snap it up. Go through you can even
you know, go fast or go slow and pick out
the point you need. Stay with us. So the Federal
(19:55):
Reserve chair didn't move the interest rates. There's a lot
of talk about. There was the flight mayor, the big
one from last week, the turbulence, and then of course
the sad story about the couple in Arkansas on the
trail at Devil's Den, all part of what we call
the weekly rewind. Yeah, it's still hard to believe and
(20:23):
it just is to me a really tough story to
even talk about. You had a mother killed in the
Arkansas stabbings who went back to help her husband after
getting her kids to safety, and thank goodness, she was
able to do that. So Kristen and her husband Clinton
were ambushed and stabbed the brinks by an attacker and
(20:45):
she was it was great that she could get them
out of danger, but she tried to save her husband
and in doing that, of course, that she met her
fate too. And then eventually the suspected attacker was arrested
getting a haircut, twenty eight year old Andrew McGann. And
(21:10):
these little girls who saw this happen, nine and seven
years old, just atrocious. And a hiker on the trail
saw the children and took them to safety after the
parents were killed, according to now what has been filed
by prosecutors, etc. And then there was some more time
(21:32):
that passed before the hiker was able to call nine
one one and report the desks because part of the
park had no cell service. So then four days after
the murders, there was an intense man hut that ended
thirty miles from where it started. It's what I said.
He was at a hair salon getting his hair cut,
and when he was questioned by state police, he admitted
(21:55):
what he had done. He admitted to the crimes during
police questioning. He had no adult criminal history, so he
made his first court appearance on Friday morning in Fayetteville.
He wore a striped jail uniform, didn't speak except to
acknowledge his name. A judge granted McGann a public defender,
(22:17):
ordered him to remain in jail without bond pending his
arraignment on August twenty fifth. Here's what Sarah Huckabee, the
governor of Arkansas said.
Speaker 11 (22:29):
We are here in northwest Arkansaw a community that has
been absolutely heartbroken over the course of the almost last week.
Our entire state is grieving for the tragic loss and
senseless and horrific crime that's taken place in this area.
(22:52):
One of the worst experiences that certainly I've ever had
was making a phone call to the Brink family earlier
this week. Nothing like that should ever take place.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Wow. And thank goodness that people were able to see
little glimpses of him from that trail. A witness saw
him leaving the trail with blood on his face, and
he was able to identify the car even though there
was tape on the license plate, and also something to
kind of obscure the model of it, so that eventually
they were able to get him after those four days.
(23:31):
And what the stylist who was going to cut his
hair said, something felt off. He looked like he wasn't okay,
he was timid, his eyes were sunken, kind of soulless.
I'll say. Meanwhile, you had these passengers in the air.
Twenty five passengers had to be hospitalized. Was a delta
flight from Salt Lake City that was headed to Amsterdam.
(23:56):
So I said this before, imagine this, Wow woo, we're
going to Amsterdam. Let's kick back and relax. Its go
and be a little bit of a long flight. It
turned out to be a shorter flight because somewhere over
Wyoming the turbulence was so bad it forced the plane
to land in Minnie Applis last Wednesday. Twenty five passengers,
like I mentioned, were taking the hospitals for treatment, and
(24:18):
you should have seen the plane afterwards because they were
getting ready for beverage service. So the carts went flying.
All kinds of things flew in the air, people's cell phones,
people flew into the air and smashed against the top
of the plane. It was an air bus with two
hundred and seventy five passengers and thirteen crew members on board.
It was just two hours into its nine hour flight
(24:39):
when it had to be diverted. So paramedics immediately got
on the plane. They got the passengers and took them
to the hospitals. And you know, most of the people,
according to the people that were on board, so that
people weren't wearing their seatbelts that were thrown into the
air because they hit the ceiling and then they fell
on to the ground. So air turbulence is on the rise,
(25:03):
and so the reports of injuries are certainly on the
rise too. And I usually it seems like they always
have the seat belt sign on now unless and you
were unbuckling if you have to run to the restroom.
But boy, I think people are gonna be really, really careful.
And I think I don't know this for sure, but
I heard from somebody that I think at that point
(25:25):
the seat belt sign was not on. So it pretty
interesting and pretty sad. Luckily it ended up okay. They
got off, got the people off and did what you
you know, what you have to do. Here's what some
passengers said.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
It was like the plane rows rapidly up about five
hundred feet and then did somewhat of a nose diive
very rapidly down about fifteen hundred feet.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
There's a moment where we thought we were going down.
So I'm, you know, still shaking about it.
Speaker 10 (25:59):
It was fair very scary.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Very scary. I would feel the same way, that's for sure,
all right. Tariffs, tariffs tariffs, so much conversation about that.
Thursday night, New Terraffs officially imposed, signing the order for
that the start date of the import taxes pushed back
seven days so the tariff schedule could be updated. The
change in tariffs on sixty six countries, the European Union, Taiwan,
(26:25):
Falkland Islands all potentially welcome news to countries that had
yet had not yet reached a deal with the US.
And the dose of uncertainty for consumers, US businesses. What's
going to happen? What's this going to look like? So
let's see what happens with some of the I'm not
(26:47):
making a deal countries like India, and that was a
country that the President said, look, we we like them,
we have a good reputation with them, but so far nothing.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
India has been a good friend, but India has charged
basically more tariffs and almost any other country.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah. So here's the thing. There are countries that have
made the deal. The clock ticked toward all of this,
and then Canada, for example, Mark Carney, the Prime minister,
there's no movement there and the President has promised that
his tax increases on the nearly three trillion goods importance
to the United States, will usher in some new wealth
(27:32):
and will launch a whole bunch of new factory jobs,
reduce the budget deficits, and get other countries to treat
America with more respect. So this is still the ongoing process.
It's the thing that the Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell
always seems to bring up when he's asked about interest rates.
So the Fed meets again last week and they take
(27:58):
a vote, but still no cuts.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
The majority of view was was still what it has been,
which is that inflation is running above target, maximum employment
is right at target. That means policy policy should be
a little bit restrictive, somewhat restrictive because we want we
want inflation to move all the way back to its target.
So that's where people have been and still are. Two
(28:24):
of our members felt that the time had come to
cut and that they for the reasons that they're they're
going to express. I won't I won't tell you the
reasons they've they'll they'll issue some kind of of a
thing in the next day or so. So, but that's
the story. And I would say, you know, well, argued
very thoughtfully argued all around the table, good arguments, and uh,
(28:47):
you know, it's a situation where unusual situation. The economy
is in you know, good shape, but it's it's it's
an unusual situation where you have risks to both your
employment mandate and your inflation. That's the it's the nature
of a supply shock.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, and so this is another one where I'd say,
if we have a ray cut, maybe one cut the
way that it's looking at this point, we move from
the economy to the sad story of the nine year
old girl who drowned at Hershey Park. There's a lot
of conversation about that last week because finally a ruling
came out as to what it was the nine year
(29:26):
old who drowned in the wave park. It's been ruled accidental.
No criminal activity found on the part of the park's employees.
Sofia Subdy drowned on July twenty fourth in that pool.
A review by police concluded that the park did what
they were supposed to do safety standards wise, and that
(29:48):
the number of people in the pool at the time
was significantly less than it's designed as far as maximum
capacity is concerned. They had ten lifeguards working at the
wavepool when she drown. Witnesses and lifeguards responded immediately, is
what the police said, within seconds of noticing her distress.
(30:08):
And they still said they tried to save her, of course,
and they have sincere condolences to her family and friends
and that their hearts break for the child and the
child's family, and you know, adding that safety and well being.
This is what the CEO of the park said, drive
every decision they make a freak and other crazy strange
(30:31):
freak accent. Because there was ten lifeguards and you heard
what I said about how many people were in the pool,
So the number because the thought was, well, was there
too many people that was an over capacity? Were there
people not paying attention and didn't help soon enough, And
of course that wasn't the case that they did respond.
(30:54):
Just a really sad, terrible, terrible, terrible thing. And you
know those wavepools, you could get caught up in it.
I mean even as adults sometimes you see that we're
people suddenly it's just somehow you zig in the wrong
direction and it zags in the other direction, but especially
for kids. But all those warnings were definitely up there.
(31:16):
So anyway, the key thing is in our weekly rewind
they were cleared of it, but still very very tragic
for that family. Coming up your thoughts as we head
to the mailroom and we got the pre market bell.
Speaker 12 (31:35):
I'm going to the man Cave, going to.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
The mar Cave, to the mar Cave.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Ay, any thanks, We are in the man Cave. Welcome everybody.
By the way, I had Susie who asked me, Kate,
are women in the man Cave too? Yes, everyone's in
the man Cave. It's a figure speech. I wrote a
book called Invade the Man Cave in a way it is,
and it was all about sports of all sorts, and
I talk about how to boost your sports knowledge. It
(32:07):
was really so fun. I wrote a couple different editions
of it. It's out there on Amazon, Barnes and Noble,
all that kind of stuff. And so anyway, so this
segment is man came. We talked about sports here, sports
of all sorts, including the NFL. There is, I think
nothing like being at a Hall of Fame induction ceremony,
(32:29):
particularly if it's your team, your player that's inducted, somebody
you followed as a kid, as an adult, whatever. And
there were four that got in to the Hall of Fame.
It's the smallest class they've had since two thousand and five.
Jared Allen, Eric Allen, Sterling Sharp, and Antonio Gates. So
(32:54):
it's interesting, and I listened to all the speeches. I
just think it's besides when the Super bowls one of
those sacred moments for any football player, and so I
picked a couple out because it would take us a
long time to play all of them. Of course, Jared
Allen finished his Hall of Fame career with one hundred
and thirty six sacks, the twelfth most in NFL history.
(33:15):
Since sacks became a stat back in nineteen eighty two.
Is eight seasons with ten plus sacks, tied for the
six in NFL history. And the list goes on and
on with Eric Allen. So here's a little snippet. I
mean Jared Allen, that's Eric Allen. I was thinking of
(33:37):
Eric Allen too with the fifty four receptions, but Jared
Allen is who I was talking about. And this is
a snippet of his speech.
Speaker 10 (33:46):
Hy why I could be summed up with three things, fear, respect,
and the pursuit of greatness. And when I talk about fear,
I'm not talking about that type of fear that cripples
you and makes you avoid something. I'm talking about that
healthy fear of failure, that fear that motivates you to
(34:06):
do whatever you can to succeed. That type of fear
that lets you get knocked down and then realize you
don't want to get knocked down again, so you pick
yourself up, you learn, and you improve.
Speaker 12 (34:17):
And respect.
Speaker 10 (34:18):
I've only played this game for two reasons. The respect
of my peers and the respect of those who came
before me.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Here's what I love. He is a former Vikings defensive end,
played most of that twelve year career there, and he
got kind of choked up about it, you know, and
he he should have. He was really incredible. If you
go back and you look at any footage of him,
you remember watching him play, certainly, so he deserves to
be in the Hall of Fame, and he got that call.
(34:49):
So good for Jared Allen. I liked his speech. I
love what he said. They're Sterling Sharp, part of the
Brothers Sharp member's brother Shannon also in the Hall of
Fame there, the first brother brother duo there, which is
such a rare thing. And this is what he talked
about with his brother as one.
Speaker 9 (35:11):
Half of the first brothers selected to the Pro Football
Hall of Fame. You got to come up here and
stand next to me, my man, you got to do it.
(35:32):
You have to learn to follow before you can leave.
When Papa died and you were crying your eyes out,
I pray to God, do not let me cry. I
need to be strong for him, and God got me
through that.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, he's somebody I interviewed a couple a couple of
times in my career. Is such a nice guy. He
played wide out for, of course, Green Bay Packers. He
played college football for the South Carolina game Cocks in
the NFL. As far as that career eighty eight to
ninety four, his career got shortened by a neck injury.
Then he became an analyst for the NFL Network and
(36:16):
he's the older brother of Pro Football Hall of famers.
I mentioned tight end Shannon Sharp, so how about that
and talking about the father and what happened there and
he set all kinds of records, and I thought that
was a really, really great choice. There's always arguments over
who gets in, and we've had people on this show
(36:36):
who have the Hall of Fame vote, and it's interesting
to say what it is that gets them in. So then,
of course you talked about Antonio Gates. He's one of
the greatest receiving tight ends I think in NFL history,
nine hundred and fifty five catches for over eleven eight
hundred and forty one yards one hundred and sixteen touchdowns
during his sixteen year career and fun, fun, fun to watch.
(37:01):
Eric Allen I mentioned him finished with fifty four interceptions
in his career, six Pro Bowl selections, a first team
All Pro selection in nineteen eighty nine. His thirty four
interceptions were tied with Brian Dawkins and Bill Bradley for
the most in Eagles history. Fly Eagles Fly, and the
fifty four total interceptions twenty first in NFL history. Was
(37:23):
cool about his Hall of Fame speech is he talked
about his sons. He has a bunch of sons, and
he talked about them all and how proud he was
of them, and he focused a big chunk of what
he had to say about them. So congrat How was
some applause? Congratulations to all of them. It's really tough
to get into the Hall of Fame, as we have
learned through our various connections and interviews with people in
(37:47):
what it takes to get there. It's not always an
obvious route to do that. Let's just put it that way.
Katie Ledcie, Katie La Deci setting all kinds of records.
Boy oh boy, she is one of the all time best,
and she proves it again and again. How many records
(38:08):
has she broken? So she wins again in the American swimmers,
set relay world records. She's unbeaten in the eight hundred freestyle.
Here's what she said about that afterwards.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
I had to go the whole way. I mean the
last hundred. You know, I don't know what you felt,
but it's like you don't want to push it too
early because you know, then you get a little afraid
that you're gonna die at the end. So it was
definitely just trying to build in each hundred and yeah,
just keep going.
Speaker 13 (38:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
They were all in Singapore for this, for the World Championships.
And it's interesting she won her first race in twenty
twelve in the Olympics and has never lost since in
a major competition. We're about the eight hundred freestyle, think
about the dominance in that incredible and then the relay
(38:59):
team and wow again, really fun to watch Team USA
because I think when we get closer to the Olympics
and it's one of my favorites. It's one of my
favorite things to watch in the Olympics. Probably a lot
of you too. Ladeki's won twenty three gold medals at
World Championships, thirty overall, nine Olympic gold medals, fourteen Olympic
(39:23):
medals overall, if you're counting, that's what forty four my math.
Forty four Olympic and World medals. Wow, wow, wow wow.
How about some Team USA. Love for that? Usa USA?
I like it for sure. Let's turn to Major League baseball.
(39:46):
It was an interesting week in a Major League baseball
So a bunch of highlights, call a couple of games.
I'll pick some of them apart for you, the ones
I know you care about because you're always asking me
to tell me what happened in that game. Cardinals, Pod,
He's got the better of you, seven to three out
of Petgo Park. And what did that game look like?
I saw some of the highlights or low lights. If
(40:08):
you're listening to me in the great State of Missouri
in Saint Louis and you look at Dylan Sees, who
was just amazing. He allowed one hit over five innings.
That's part of the problem, striking out nine and that's
the thing. So the Padres won for the seventh time
in eight games. There are three games behind the NL
West leading Dodgers. And for the Cardinals, you know, they
(40:32):
got on the board at the top of the ninth
bases loaded singles, but it wasn't enough. They could not
break that open. So the Cardinals traveled to Los Angeles
to pay the Dodgers on Monday, and we'll see if
they turn that around, right, they'll turn it around. Of course,
there's plenty of time, a lot of road left in
(40:57):
the MLB season, although it seems like time just flies,
doesn't it. Okay, Diamondback fans picked up their fifty third
win six' four over The. A's how did that? Happen
Blaze Alexander homer to help the D backs beat The
a's On, Sunday and then they played a little bit
(41:18):
of small ball. Too that also helped secure that. Win
and The diamondbacks especially scored three runs in the second
against a rookie. Pitcher that made a big. Difference Jack,
perkins who gave up five hits and walked three in three,
innings and they picked that one. Up so it's a
(41:40):
big win for them because they need to break open
to get deeper into the. Fifties if they're gonna go,
anywhere you got to get closer to that sixty sixty sixty,
sixty all, right believe it or, Not, boy the man
cave just flew. By oh wait till you Meet Joshua seth.
Next he is incredibly. Talented Think, digimond think A, kiro
(42:01):
think voiceover. Incredible you don't want to miss this. Conversation,

i'll just point to you and you say all.
Speaker 12 (43:41):
THAT i like.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
IT i could have a career as a professional. Introducer.
Speaker 8 (43:46):
Absolutely so that is a.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
Lot but let's start back to the. Beginnings when you
were a kid In. Ohio growing up In, ohio could
you have ever have imagined what you've.
Speaker 8 (43:57):
Accomplished, YES i never felt LIKE i belonged. THERE i
REALLY i grew up in the.
Speaker 12 (44:04):
COUNTRY i, mean my parents are professional, people they were both,
psychologists but WHAT i was surrounded by were cows and.
Speaker 8 (44:13):
CORNFIELDS i mean the real.
Speaker 12 (44:15):
COUNTRY i mean my, PETS i had a, chicken a,
goat and a monkey.
Speaker 8 (44:21):
WHEN i was growing up at different.
Speaker 12 (44:22):
Times SO i was like a circus right not far,
off and five horses THAT i had to feed before.
Speaker 8 (44:28):
School and ALL i wanted to do.
Speaker 12 (44:29):
Was get the hell out of there and move TO
la Or New York. City EVENTUALLY i did both and you.
Speaker 8 (44:35):
Know be on the stage or be on the.
Speaker 12 (44:37):
Screen, YEAH i had this idea starting, well as the legend,
goes WHEN i was eight years old AND i walked
into a theater for the first time and forced myself
in front of the producer and the director that were
casting a show THAT i wasn't even up.
Speaker 8 (44:51):
For get me on the.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Stage, yeah, yeah so you knew. It but as you,
said you grew up in the. Country you go to
when you get out of high, school you go to
the very Prestigious New York University Tish school of The,
arts and you must have learned a lot.
Speaker 9 (45:07):
There.
Speaker 8 (45:08):
Yeah that was, well that's HOW i became a voice.
Speaker 12 (45:11):
Actor WHEN i make the comic count, appearances they always asked,
that you, know how do you get into? This and
it really started with my, dad who was a radio.
Psychologist do you remember that old Show. Fraser he was
like a real Life fraser Before. Fraser so he built
his practice in Northeastern ohio by having the number ONE
am at the. Time it WAS am talk radio show
(45:35):
in that region all WHILE i was growing, up and
so many TIMES i would go to the radio station
and see the karts and the production and even be
on the mike and stuff like.
Speaker 8 (45:43):
That SO i was very familiar with.
Speaker 12 (45:45):
Radio and WHEN i went From ohio to the Big
city To manhattan to go to, college everything was very
unfamiliar except for the radio.
Speaker 8 (45:54):
Station SO i got myself a SHOW, Wnyu New York,
city fifty thousand, watts going out to three.
Speaker 12 (46:02):
States and it wasn't THAT i wanted to be a,
broadcaster but it just felt.
Speaker 8 (46:06):
Very, familiar and it was in the performance sort of.
Speaker 12 (46:08):
ENVIRONMENT i didn't have a lot of performing, opportunities of,
course growing up At ohio OH i do have to
mention this.
Speaker 8 (46:14):
Though before we jump.
Speaker 12 (46:15):
Ahead so by that point WHEN i went to, COLLEGE
i had had over one thousand theater shows in front
of paying audiences in equity equity performing. Situation because WHEN
i was eight years, old the local what wasn't really
a community theater.
Speaker 7 (46:34):
Was it was The it was the theater where The
broadway musicals would go to work out the touring version
of their productions In, Akron, ohio AND i just happened to,
live you, know twenty thirty minutes from, there and they
were casting brigadoone and they needed a redheaded, child and
my younger brother had red hair and was not.
Speaker 8 (46:54):
Interested and.
Speaker 7 (46:57):
As the story, GOES i just walked right up to
the table where they.
Speaker 12 (47:01):
Were doing the, casting just cut the line in front
of everybody and, Said i'll do whatever it. Takes you
can paint freckles on my face and dye my hair, red,
like let's. Go and they did not cast, me but
they remembered my.
Speaker 8 (47:13):
Name i'm a big believer in self.
Speaker 12 (47:15):
Promotion and the next show they were casting was the
touring version Of Yule Brenner's The king AND i as
they Left broadway to go on, tour they cast me
As Prince Chella, longcorn which is the child. Lead and
it was eight shows for eight, weeks and THEN i
was in every production they did from the TIME i
was eight to. Eighteen so by the TIME i got TO,
NYU i had really paid my dues AND i had
(47:37):
my chops as a. Performer so WHEN i started that radio,
SHOW i was very fluid on the mic and speaking
extemporaneously and there was no, hesitation.
Speaker 8 (47:48):
You, know in terms of broadcasting or anything like. That
so the show did. WELL i did it throughout my
time AT.
Speaker 12 (47:54):
Nyu but one day my air conditioner broke AND i was.
Hot and, this this is really what launched my voice acting,
career is that my air conditioner broke AND i just
wanted to cool, down and SO i went to this
art house movie theater In manhattan that was playing this
(48:15):
very interesting movie with a red motorcycle on the.
Speaker 8 (48:17):
Front, actually you see the movie behind. Me for the
listeners at, Home joshua is pointing to this.
Speaker 12 (48:24):
Wall of DVDs of movies that he's, voiced and one
of them is that's displayed is A. Kira back to
our show already in, progress all, Right so that movie
with the red with the red, motorcycle that's A. Kira
it's on every critics list of the number one anime
movie of all.
Speaker 8 (48:41):
Time and for good.
Speaker 12 (48:42):
Reason it's art and it allowed anime to break through
To american, audiences and it showed that animation can be
more than just for.
Speaker 8 (48:52):
Kids this is very much for. Adults, ANYWAY i saw that.
Speaker 12 (48:54):
Movie it blew my, mind AND i hatched a plan
to use the radio show to create a, demo AND
i use that demo to get an agent In Los,
Angeles and a week after, GRADUATING i moved out there
And i'm.
Speaker 8 (49:06):
Like, Yes i'm a voice. Actor Now i'm gonna voice an.
Speaker 12 (49:09):
Anime but there was a flaw on my, Plan, kate
do you know what the flaw?
Speaker 8 (49:12):
Was it was hard to get a. Job, no it
didn't even. Exist there was no anime, yet nothing was going.
Speaker 7 (49:18):
ON i was.
Speaker 12 (49:19):
Years early to, that So i'd always had like a
lifelong interest in. Magic SO i started doing magic at
kid's birthday parties just to pay the bills WHILE i
started auditioning and here and there getting a.
Speaker 8 (49:32):
Gig you. Know my first commercial.
Speaker 12 (49:34):
Was, Mom, dad can we go To? Disneyland which is you,
know national. Commercial and you, KNOW i was, like, okay
Now i'm a working voice. Actor, no a month goes,
by two months goes, by, nothing and then, oh one
one episode of Rug, rats you, know another month or
two one episode Of Hey arnold you just stuff like,
that and then EVENTUALLY i got cast to replace another
(49:57):
voice actor as the voice of the robot in the
late nies on.
Speaker 8 (50:00):
A little shell Called Power. Rangers perhaps you've heard of,
It oh, yeah ay Ay.
Speaker 12 (50:06):
Ai SO i took over the voice Of alpha Five
danger and THEN i met the everybody working At, saban
Which Heim, saban the now billionaire at the. Time he
used the success Of Power rangers to launch a network
Called Fox kids and that, network the flagship show that
(50:28):
they launched it with Was. Digimon and that's HOW i
was in a position to be able to land the
main Character, ti the leader of The, digimon WHICH i.
Speaker 8 (50:38):
Have now voiced.
Speaker 12 (50:39):
For, well this will be the twenty sixth year we
had the HIT tv, show the millennial iconic touchstone Of
digimon the, movie And i've actually voiced that main character
in all nine movies and we're still. Going it's the
seventy fifth highest grossing media franchise in the.
Speaker 8 (50:57):
World.
Speaker 1 (50:58):
Wow AND i think Of, tie it's such a recognizable.
Voice what's that been like for? You and, See i'm
going back to this question BECAUSE i always, think did
you ever think it would be that? SUCCESSFUL i, mean
you believed in, it but did you think it was
gonna be that? Big?
Speaker 12 (51:12):
No, no because there was no streaming back. Then there
were no social media, channels there's no. YouTube so when
we would record a, show it would play On saturday,
morning and then in that first season it was the
number one animated show On saturday morning. Television you remember
That saturday MORNING. Tv and then it was every day after.
(51:34):
School so all these millennials WHEN i do The Comic con,
appearances they all.
Speaker 8 (51:38):
Come up and, say thank you for making my childhood.
Speaker 12 (51:40):
Great we'd, run my brother AND i would run home
from the school bus and sit down in front of
THE tv and listen to you you, know a voice
digimon and pretty much everything else that you see, here
all these like other hundred movies and shows as a
result of that, success including which we can get into.
Later HOW i ended up voicing the main character In
akira seven years after having seen. It that that was
(52:03):
when the voice acting career came full. Circle BUT i
had no idea that decades later people would still be
watching this stuff because it's on demand On, Hulu like
you can see it right, now right well not, now
but you, know after listening To Amazing, americans then you
could turn on The hulu and you could see you,
know many or the crunchy. ROLE a lot of my
(52:23):
shows are on crunchy role as well now and so
you could see it at any, time and some new
new generations are being introduced to. It AND i have
fans that are, millennials, which believe it or, not they're
in their thirties, now and then their children are growing
up watching this. Too so, no there was no way
to conceive of the fact that that would. Happen what
(52:43):
what do people.
Speaker 1 (52:44):
Not know about voice over that maybe you didn't know.
INITIALLY i, mean obviously you have a. Voice in just
this short, period we can tell because you can switch
the tone of your voice to doing a, character almost
an announcer. Voice so you have that, gift and there
is a gift you CAN'T i think some people, think,
(53:07):
WELL i have deep. PIPES i can just walk into
a studio and open a mic and That's there's more
to it than.
Speaker 8 (53:12):
That, yeah, Yeah well.
Speaker 12 (53:16):
A couple things come to, Mind. Kate one is that
your voice is an. Instrument so just because you have
an interesting sounding voice doesn't mean that you know how
to play all the notes in your. Instrument now you
can do very well only playing in a very limited.
RANGE i, Mean Bob doan's done pretty well and he
sings about four notes and that's being, generous but there's
(53:39):
so much more to.
Speaker 8 (53:40):
It so you can learn to use that instrument.
Speaker 12 (53:43):
And exercise it as you would any other muscle group
in your body and find that vocal.
Speaker 8 (53:50):
Flexibility anyone can do.
Speaker 1 (53:52):
That we come back voicing a main character in A.
Kiro next ON atm we're back With Joshua. Seth, joshua
how did you gland a role in A?
Speaker 12 (54:12):
Kira the producers In japan have specifically asked for you
to Voice, tetsuo Which tetsuo.
Speaker 8 (54:18):
Is he's the, villain but he is.
Speaker 12 (54:21):
Essentially he is a. Keira he is the force that
threatens to blow Up Neo. Tokyo and if you haven't seen,
it it is sort of like the anime version Of Blade.
Runner and if you haven't Seen Blade, runner why like
this is? Great why around the same time that they came,
out these these movies are cyberpunk movies and without them
(54:43):
there wouldn't have been The. Matrix for, instance The worshowskis
asked the cast and crew of The matrix to Watch
akira before they started filming because they said this is
the vibe that we are going.
Speaker 8 (54:53):
To SO i got that. CALL i didn't have to.
Speaker 12 (54:55):
Audition only time that ever happened where it was simply
handed to. Me AND i realized that my entire journey
as a voice actor had come full. Circle so a
few years, LATER i QUIT. WOW i LEFT la BECAUSE
i already accomplished my.
Speaker 8 (55:09):
Call, RIGHT i did WHAT i set out to.
Speaker 12 (55:12):
DO i only really still voice A digimond because that's
my legacy character and it's my own voice, basically SO
i don't want to let it.
Speaker 1 (55:19):
Go it's funny because you talk about that, journey and
then you talked about how you had to make ends
meet and worked in the, magic WHICH i saw you
as the. Mentalist that was mind blowing what you. DID
i couldn't figure it. OUT i was trying so. HARD
i feel LIKE i burned some brain. Cells but how
did that? Happen and how did that then morph into
(55:40):
this incredible skill you have that you've taken all over the.
Speaker 8 (55:43):
World, really thank. You it's a real.
Speaker 12 (55:45):
PASSION i really really loved doing the show to the
point Where i'll fly halfway around the world for a
chance to just be on a stage for forty five.
Speaker 8 (55:54):
Minutes or an.
Speaker 12 (55:55):
HOUR i, mean who in the right mind would do
that except for an entertainer who's just loves it more than,
anything you, know other than my children and.
Speaker 8 (56:04):
Wife but it's been around.
Speaker 12 (56:06):
Longer so back in the, nineties, YEAH i had to
make ends. MADE i had to pay the bills in
some way WHILE i was auditioning and not booking things
BECAUSE i wasn't very good as a voice.
Speaker 8 (56:18):
Actor it takes time to develop these.
Speaker 12 (56:20):
Skills and, HONESTLY i wasn't very good as a magician,
either BUT i was good enough to book kids, parties
SO i did a lot of kids.
Speaker 8 (56:27):
Parties in, FACT i did so many part of.
Speaker 12 (56:32):
It i'm not Gonna i'm not going to toot my
own hold too much here and SAY i was such
a good magician THAT i was booked so much in
the nineties that THAT i opened an. Agency, no the
REASON i opened an agency was BECAUSE i was good at.
Marketing so what happened WAS i started getting so many
calls as a result of the. Marketing and this there's
a saying in marketing that marketing is marketing is, Marketing,
(56:54):
right it doesn't really matter what your marketing or to
whom these principles are the, Same so we didn't have
a lot of the tools that make it a lot easier,
now Like Google ads And facebook ads and things like
that that give you reach for. Pennies back then you
had to BUY i bought double quarter column display ads
in the phone books.
Speaker 8 (57:14):
AUDIENCE a phone book is a list of phone.
Speaker 12 (57:17):
Numbers For the yellow pages would be for, businesses and
the white pages would be for how do people know
right you're if you're under a certain, age like let's
say UNDER i don't, know forty thirty five phone book
phone books for these Thick that's how people found stuff Before.
Google Before, google you had to advertise In Los angeles
in every single phone book and every single kids. Publication
(57:41):
well let me tell, You, KATE i went seventy thousand
dollars in debt in my twenties on credit, cards opening
this agency and starting this. Business but within less than two,
YEARS i would, say like a year and a, HALF
i was booking one thousand shows a, year which is
only it's like twenty shows a, weekend like twenty five
shows a Week AND i had all my friends going
(58:03):
out doing shows THAT i trained them to. Do and
THEN i would take the best ones for, myself the corporate,
events these celebrity, events things like, that and then all
the normal ones.
Speaker 8 (58:13):
WOULD i would give to all these other.
Speaker 12 (58:14):
People AND i kept that going for five or six
years Until disney sued me AND i settled AND i
sold the.
Speaker 8 (58:20):
Agency, yeah it's.
Speaker 12 (58:22):
All, right why a, Bridge but because we were also
doing custom characters and, stuff and they, said, well you,
know like allowing a misperception to exist in the mind
of the customer's tantamount to copyright. Infringement And i'm, like
but we're not sending out you know, Whatever Mickey, Mouse
winnie The, pooh whatever it. Was we're sending out some generic.
Character BUT i didn't want to fight. It and already,
again i'd sort of accomplished that. GOAL i bought a
(58:44):
house with kids party magic money in The Los, ANGELES
i really.
Speaker 8 (58:49):
AND i had accompassed the. Goal SO i, thought you know,
WHAT i didn't come out here to be an agent.
Speaker 12 (58:53):
ANYWAY i know how to sell, Now SO i sold
it off for pieces of the, business and THEN i
really honed in on the magic and around the time
That digimon, hit which would have been ninety eight or ninety,
nine that's around the time THAT i sold That Kid's
Magic Company Kids Entertainment company really and focused on the
(59:14):
magic and one of the it's interesting when you meet
people in, life how those connections lead to other things
that can really expand the possibilities in your life and your.
Career so one of the people THAT i used to
send out to do those kids parties turns out she
was the receptionist at a place called The Magic castle In, Hollywood,
california which is the premiere performing venue for magicians in the.
(59:37):
World and it was like five minutes from WHERE i.
Lived but, again because this is before The, INTERNET i
had no idea that it.
Speaker 8 (59:43):
Existed so she told me about.
Speaker 12 (59:44):
It she's, like you, know you're performing a lot more
than our professional many of our professional.
Speaker 8 (59:48):
Members you should be a. Member SO i went. DOWN
i loved. It it's a private.
Speaker 12 (59:52):
Club it has multiple performing, rooms a big stage or a,
parlor which was my, favorite or a close up room or.
Magic there's all kinds of magic going on seven nights a,
week some of the best magicians in the, world and
SO i, AUDITIONED i. JOINED i was there almost every
night for a couple of years UNTIL i competed in
and then. Won joshua was pointing to some plaques and
(01:00:17):
a tiny little award behind. Him let's, Say Magic Castle
Olympics Gold medal. Winner why is it tiny because the
really Big Winners cup that's in The Magic. Castle so
if you ever go, there look for my, name it's
right in the. Front that's what launched my touring, career
except THAT i couldn't LEAVE la BECAUSE i was voicing
(01:00:38):
on all these. Series SO i attempted to do both
careers at a high level for another five or six
years until, WELL i guess two thousand and, seven so
maybe six or seven.
Speaker 8 (01:00:49):
YEARS i was younger THAN i had a lot of.
Speaker 12 (01:00:51):
Energy but one DAY i came home from doing a
lot of shows over the weekend and THEN i had
a full slate of recording sessions for the next, week
AND i remember lying down on the hardwood floor of
the of the living room in my little home In
burbank and just not being able to get, up just
feeling like there was a weight on my.
Speaker 8 (01:01:11):
Chest this pressure had gotten to me AND i just
had to make a.
Speaker 12 (01:01:16):
Decision it hit me all at once like, that LIKE
i have to go one direction or the, other either
the magic or the voiceovers because Otherwise i'm going to
get myself a heart.
Speaker 8 (01:01:23):
Attack and WHEN.
Speaker 12 (01:01:25):
I stood, UP i was, like it's gonna be the
magic Because i've always wanted to tour And i've never
had a chance to go on. Tour and AFTER i
won The Magic, OLYMPICS i had agents telling, Me, hey
you can do the college, circuit you can do the
cruise ship, circuit you can do comedy, clubs you, know
all of Which i've done. Now BUT i couldn't do
BECAUSE i couldn't Leave. La SO i wound up all
my serious, commitments sold my house IN la and went
(01:01:47):
on the, road and THEN i did about four hundred
colleges over the next several years on The naka circuit
and about two hundred cruise. Ships cruise ship gigs are.
Great people make fun of those, entertainers but a lot
of them are really. Good it's a wonderful lifestyle if
you don't have, kids and they would fly me to another,
country put me up in a. RESORT i joined the
ship already in. Progress i'd do a show for a
(01:02:09):
thousand people sold out because they didn't pay anything for the, show,
right they just show up and twice in an, evening
and then that was.
Speaker 8 (01:02:16):
It THEN i got to take a cruise and get
paid for.
Speaker 12 (01:02:18):
It and then BECAUSE i didn't have, kids then they'd
let me off in another country And i'd, say, Well
i'll just stay here for a week or two until
the next, gig and i'd be In, thailand or i'd
be In, italy or i'd be In jamaica or whatever
and hang out and explore and see the, world and
then they'd fly me to the next. Ship AND i
did a lot And, princess and then eventually they were
all On disney Because disney really values. Entertainment, surprise. Surprise
(01:02:42):
and THEN i had, kids and THEN i stopped doing
those BECAUSE i didn't want to be gotten for a
week at a. Time and THEN i went into corporate,
entertainment so that worked out pretty well.
Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
Too wow well of doing the magic. SHOWS i, mean
you went to so many amazing. Places and this is
a hard, question but was there one place that was
just blew your, mind like you can't believe you've been flown? Here,
yeah you were here on a boat.
Speaker 12 (01:03:05):
Whatever usually the dangerous places That americans typically don't go,
to they're very. Interesting BECAUSE i felt Like i'm in
a foreign. Country when you go to The, caribbean it's.
Speaker 8 (01:03:15):
Like, okay, well what's.
Speaker 12 (01:03:18):
The, difference you, know except that there's a lot of
diamonds international, everywhere the food's the, same everybody Speaks.

BRAZIL i liked being In egypt And lebanon And.
Speaker 8 (01:03:28):
Costa, rica and Well Costa rica maybe not as, dangerous
but what Was, cartagenia you, know In. Colombia and THEN
i since vacation In bogatah And, Quito.
Speaker 12 (01:03:40):
Ecuador AND i remember walking from In brazil AFTER i
got off the ship contract AND i had a money
belt on with a lot of cash.
Speaker 8 (01:03:51):
For people that bought my.
Speaker 12 (01:03:52):
Books BECAUSE i wrote my first book on, ships there's
a lot of free. Time and back THEN i was
also doing comedy hypnosis shows and people would always make a, Joke.
Speaker 8 (01:04:00):
Hey could you hypnotize me to lose?
Speaker 12 (01:04:01):
Weight AND i, thought well, Yeah SO i started doing
those seminars and THEN i wrote my first book.
Speaker 8 (01:04:07):
On that and then they, would you, know pay me
for the CDs and the book.
Speaker 12 (01:04:10):
SALES i had all this cash and a money belt
AND i got off the ship AND i have this
and my flight wasn't until that night AND i had
to get off the ship in the, morning SO i
decided to walk From ipanima To, copacabana which is.
Speaker 8 (01:04:21):
A pretty long.
Speaker 12 (01:04:22):
Walk, yeah AND i had like a like a not A,
rolex but like a tag here on my, wrist and
then this money.
Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
Belt do you're more Of my conversation With joshua was
seth to check Out apple Or. Spotify thanks for. Listening
Hey, everybody, Kate de lady, hanging with all of you
across this great nation here on ATM the Charcuterie Board
of Talk Radio. It was all about time when it
comes to what happened in the last couple of days
the World Championships. The US won four gold medals. We're
talking about pool splash, splash stuff, including the great Katie
(00:43):
Ledecci her thrilling win in the women's eight hundred meter freestyle.
She claimed it the reason for the clock with a
record time. She's like a fish, this girl, the way
she cuts through the water. She represents the US. So
so well, we will go deeper into this, we'll get
(01:05):
into the man cave. But there is no question it
was really fun to see what she was able to do.
So I'm going to say, Usa, Usa, baby all the way. Yep, exactly.
(01:25):
So some of the struggles maybe were over. You know,
there was a lot of criticism about the swimmers and
going into this and what was going to happen, especially
after the Paris Olympics, which they had the lowest tally
of Olympic gold medals in the pool since nineteen eighty eight.
But I say give them some space and let them breathe,
(01:47):
because there were some really really good moments for the US.
They finished top of the swimming medal table at the
World Aquatics Championships on Sunday despite a slow stone, So
that is the good news. Meanwhile, onto life stuff that
is really sad, and we've been talking about this a lot.
(02:09):
Seeing the faces of those babies and the starving people
in Gaza not lost on the President. He mentioned it,
of course, and that was part of what I call
the Sunday swirl, the conversation over what's happening, what's important.
Is there going to be some kind of a deal
with Israel and will there be more humanitarian a that
will pour in for these people who are losing children
(02:33):
right and left, and not to mention adults as well.
So Avril Benoit, who is the US CEO of Doctors
Without Borders, was on ABC and I happened to catch
a slice of her conversation. She paints the real picture
of what she's seeing.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
People are starving, people are desperate. The patients that we're
seeing are malnourished. We have seen women deliver premium. Surely
the newborns are at risk because the mothers don't have
enough nutrition themselves to breastfeed even premature babies at much
higher numbers than you would normally see. We're also seeing
(03:12):
people coming in with all the catastrophic injuries that you
would expect in an open zone of air strikes and
continuing hostilities. They're coming in with those trauma injuries, third
degree burns to their entire bodies, children with their faces
blown off, all the major orthopedic cases. The trauma and
(03:32):
their bodies are not strong enough to even fight.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, And part of this, of course goes back to
is there going to big deal and all or nothing
deal in Gaza? So after months of work on a
ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza that appears like
it's in an impasse, we've got officials from the US
and from Israel that are saying they're going to push
for this comprehensive agreement to end the war, just shifting
(04:02):
into let's go all the way through. Steve Wikoff, the
Trump Administration's envoyd to the Middle East, said we gotta
shift this to kind of an all or nothing scenario.
So Prime Minister Benjamin Ett Yahoo and President Trump are
supposedly working on this deal that they're going to present
to Hamas with that ultimatum, release the remaining hostages agree
(04:23):
to the terms that would disarm the group, or Israel's
military campaign will continue. And of course then that's what
happens with this global criticism over the starvation in Gaza
and the pressure to do something about it. But so
much of this still stems on releasing the hostages that
(04:48):
are at least the twenty hostages that Israel belieze are
still living in what appears to be an underground tunnel.
Let's see what happens this week, because I think the
pressure is on, it's being turned up. Will Hamas respond?
Will there be an all un nothing deal? Who knows?
It's a great big question mark. Meanwhile, you have the
(05:12):
story of Jelaanne Maxwell, who's moved to a more minimum
secure prison in Texas. In fact, Elizabeth Holmes is there,
if you remember her, she's there, and there's a couple
other well known prisoners, female prisoners as well. The President
was asked again heading into the weekend by somebody who
(05:34):
interviewed him on Newsmax about whether there would be a
pardon in the offing.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I'm allowed to do it, but nobody's asked me to
do it.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I know nothing about it.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
I don't know anything about the case, but I know
I have the right to do it.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
And that's true. He does have the right. We know
that any president has that power. There's been so much
reaction to that, so you know, she is serving a
twenty year sentence for sex trafficking. She did meet, as
we all know, with the Department of Justice for two
days to answer a whole bunch of questions, but then
she was quietly moved to a different prison, like I said,
(06:15):
in Texas that is far different from the one that
she was in. Like I mentioned, the founder of Farronos,
Elizabeth Holmes, is one of the people that is in
that prison. So does that signal anything or does it
mean nothing? Who knows? There is so much push for
(06:37):
this release of more information with Epstein, and yet nothing
will happen congressionally because of the break until after Labor Day.
From that point of view, will something else happen in between?
I mean, you got to remember this, Maxwell enticed groomed,
in fact, minor girls to be abused in multiple ways.
(07:00):
She would befriend a bunch of victims, asked them about
their lives or schools, their families, all of that, and
got ensnared into this horrific, horrific trap. So she of
course has asked the Supreme Court to overturn her sex
trafficking conviction, which I don't see that happening, but will
(07:21):
there there was an early push for that, but will
there be a pardon? And again you heard the President
said he hasn't been approached. I definitely believe that. And
that's where it stands at this point. What's some good news, Allred?
(07:45):
A couple of pieces of good news. One if you
had on your list, Hey, Fantastic four h thumbs up.
We went to see The Fantastic Four over the weekend.
It was very good. It was clever, it was well done.
I mean, it's typical of what you would see, but
I think the acting was so strong and it it
How did that really pulled me in? I thought it was.
(08:08):
It was good. I give it A. I definitely give
it an A, not an A plus, but I definitely
give it an A if we were grading on that curve.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
All right.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
So the other good news is the Devilwars Prada too.
We're into the sequels and the revisiting originals. I think
it's more revisiting originals like Happy Gilmore two, So it's
not so much sequel, but like Jurassic which has so
many here's Part three, four or five, all that kind
of stuff. It's more the second part of the Devilwars
(08:37):
Prada because Meryl Streep and Halfaway, Stanley Tucci, they've all
been filming in Manhattan, remember the first one, which was
in two thousand and six gross three hundred and twenty
six million worldwide. I think people really want a two,
and they're bringing back the original stars in that, so
good for them. Odds and ends on the flip.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Baby if you mean ever won dude, wonder whatever became
of me?
Speaker 6 (09:17):
I'm living on the air in Cincinnati, Cincinnati WKRP.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Oh yeah, wk RP, which was such a popular show
in the eighties. I want to say it was eighties. Yeah.
Lonnie Anderson, who played a struggling radio stations receptionist really
put her on the map. It was a hit TV
comedy series WKRP in Cincinnati. You just heard the opening song.
(09:50):
They would play it in the beginning, they would play
it during the credits too. It aired actually from seventy
eight to eighty two, and it was set in a
live Ohio radio station trying to reinvent itself with rock music.
There's a lot of really well known people that were
in it that went on to big careers, like Jane
(10:10):
Smithers and Howard Hessman, and of course Lonnie Anderson was
one of them. She died just days before her eightieth
birthday after a prolonged illness, according to her publicists. And
that role earned her two Emmy Awards and three Gold
(10:30):
Globe nominations or two, yeah, two Emmy Awards and three
Gold Globe nominations. So and then she was on the
big screen beside who would become her husband, Bert Reynolds,
at one point in her life. And really it was
just interesting to see the path that she went in,
(10:52):
including she had a son, Quinton Anderson Reynolds, and some
grandkids and all kinds of things. But she was a
fixture for a while and then kind of disappeared maybe
in the late nineties, and every once in a while
she would pop up somewhere. So rip to Lannie Anderson,
(11:14):
who was an original sex symbol, and it's funny WKRP.
The first radio station that I worked in was ACRN
in Ohio in Athens, Ohio on the campus, but it
was it was broadcast in Wheeling, West Virginia and other places,
and in its own little way, it reminded me of WUKRP.
(11:38):
So I thought that was pretty interesting. How about this
scary moment a little boy six years old almost pulled
into a tank by an octopus. Yeah, that's a mic
drop moment, a scary one. It was just a simple
trip to the aquarium and then the six year old
(11:59):
this is insane and Antonio, like I said, was in
the touch tank, was in the touch tank area doing
what they normally do, touching the octopus. But then suddenly
little Leo found that his arm in the tank was
being wrapped up by the octopus's tentacles, got around him
and wouldn't let him go. This happened last month. Britney Tarn.
(12:23):
His mother said this about what happened and what she
thinks they should do.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
This is definitely on the aquarium and we're hoping to
see change.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, she thinks that you can't do that because his
arm just covered in bumps, red welts from the octopus,
and plus it was just so scary everybody. There was
a couple of people that were working there that had
to help pull the octopus away from him. The first
person couldn't even remove the tentacles from him. He calls
(12:55):
from back for backup. They brought ice packs to distract
the octopus, but nothing was happening, and it took three
employees to free little Leo. Here's what he said about
his buddy afterwards. It's one of my friends, so I
like when I see it. So he said, hey, no
(13:16):
offense to the octopus. I like him, he's my friend.
I thought that was cute when he said it, but
it was really scary to see. It's really scary to
see his arm. The boy said, he only feels pain
for the octopus, but he does have those bruises, right,
And I'm sure they're going to do something, and usually
octopuses are gentle. But it just shows you, they said,
(13:40):
they think, and who knows? Right? Are we do? We
have an octopus brain?
Speaker 7 (13:44):
Do we know?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It was overstimulated, is the best guess. And the aquarium
was in compliance with all the inspections everything. It was
just a freak thing that happened, a really tense, kind
of crazy freak thing. There's no question I would be
I would be worried if I was there and I'd
(14:05):
be trying to help and nothing was happening. And that's
what that's what they deal was. They just could not
get the little boy free from the grip of the
tentacles of the octopus. Time for some birthdays. All right,
(14:33):
as far as birthdays go, let's see if you know
any of these birthday people. All right, this guy is
forty eight years old. He's forty eight years old. Let's
just say he played for in his college years, he
(14:56):
played for Notre Dame. He sent everything that he could
think of to scouts so that he would get that
not Notre Dame Michigan. He sent everything he could out
to scouts to try to get a place on a
good college team. And it took forever, but after playing
(15:17):
college football for the Wolverines, he was selected one hundred
and ninety ninth overall by the Patriots. There's your hint
in the sixth round of the two thousand NFL Draft.
He became one of the biggest NFL draft steals ever ever.
Think about this. Nine super Bowl appearances, six super Bowl titles,
(15:40):
NFL records galore. Incredible, I mean absolutely incredible. And that
would be Tom Brady, he retires. He spent his first
twenty seasons with the New England Patriots. Then he goes
on for his final three seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
and some people say he's the goat the greatest of
(16:00):
all time. And then he decides to go in the booth.
And I thought it was good because he was getting
criticized a lot. How he handled some of that criticism
even deciding to do that.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Listen, I just don't get it.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I mean, Tom Brady, the broadcaster, guy's got everything in
the world.
Speaker 9 (16:18):
Why do it?
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Tommy?
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Why?
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Yeah, Tommy the guy who took a couple of snaps
and juco once answers, why don't you lay on a
beach getting fat on pina coladas?
Speaker 9 (16:28):
Why not buy a soccer tank?
Speaker 8 (16:29):
Got one? Dude?
Speaker 10 (16:30):
Why would they ask?
Speaker 8 (16:31):
Why what are they even talking about?
Speaker 9 (16:32):
Kid?
Speaker 6 (16:33):
What what they're really asking is why don't you quit football?
They don't understand that you live and breathe for.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
Football because you're Tom freaking Brady.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
In our football journey isn't even close to done.
Speaker 8 (16:46):
One day, maybe the greatest ever was back to work.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
So while he's forty eight, this woman celebrated her eighty
fourth birthday. She did a little jail time for some
insider trading. People thought that that was unfair and she
was railroaded in the first place. But she's an American
retail businesswoman, writer, television personality, the founder of Martha Stewart
(17:18):
Living Omnimedia. Here she is teaching Shanaia Twain on one
of her shows how to make the perfect grilled cheese sandwich.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Well, this is one of the thirty things that you
really should know how to make anything.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Kind of gore mat grilled chees sandwich.
Speaker 10 (17:34):
Girl chee sandwiches, you know, are one of the most
popular sandwiches in America.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
In Canada, Oh, it's a big thing. Yeah, hot chocolate
and grilled chees sandwiches.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Oh, hot chocolate and girl cheeseh oh No, we always
have tomatoes, soup and grilled cheese sanwich. Oh.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
Oh, that's a great one.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I'm still trying to get over the hot chocolate and
grilled cheese sandwiches. What remember it was back in two
thousand and four she was convicted of obstructing justice lining
to investigators about a stock sale. So it's just five
in West Virginia prison. But that really helped take down
some of that of that Martha Stewart living empire. But
(18:08):
you know what, she bounced back in a very very
big way. She always finds her footing. There is something
about Martha Stewart. Can't keep a good woman down. And
how many in her lifestyle brand, how many cookbooks, cook wear,
all kinds of things did she sell? And she really
(18:30):
believes in all of that. I mean yes, with the
whole business side of her, but she believed in the
in the cooking, in the growing things. I mean that
was real. I don't know how you could fake that.
And The Martha Stewart Show, The Cooking Show aired from
two thousand and five to twenty twelve, at one point
(18:52):
on various networks. So an interesting life, that's for sure. Hey,
if you miss anything, remember you can always go to
Kate Delaney Radio with extra Sauce.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
This sauce.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Again, it's Kay Delaney Radio with extra sauce, this sauce.
So we're talking Apple, we're talking Spotify, any place where
you have podcasts, easy to go there. All roads lead
in that direction. And you got the highlights with the sauce.
You can also get the full atn show two plenty
ways to get it. Hopefully you get everything you need
(19:27):
from these fabulous affiliates, but hey, we miss things, and
if you only hear a tiny bit of something, you
want to hear the rest of it. That's a good
way to snap it up. Go through you can even
you know, go fast or go slow and pick out
the point you need. Stay with us. So the Federal
(19:55):
Reserve chair didn't move the interest rates. There's a lot
of talk about. There was the flight mayor, the big
one from last week, the turbulence, and then of course
the sad story about the couple in Arkansas on the
trail at Devil's Den, all part of what we call
the weekly rewind. Yeah, it's still hard to believe and
(20:23):
it just is to me a really tough story to
even talk about. You had a mother killed in the
Arkansas stabbings who went back to help her husband after
getting her kids to safety, and thank goodness, she was
able to do that. So Kristen and her husband Clinton
were ambushed and stabbed the brinks by an attacker and
(20:45):
she was it was great that she could get them
out of danger, but she tried to save her husband
and in doing that, of course, that she met her
fate too. And then eventually the suspected attacker was arrested
getting a haircut, twenty eight year old Andrew McGann. And
(21:10):
these little girls who saw this happen, nine and seven
years old, just atrocious. And a hiker on the trail
saw the children and took them to safety after the
parents were killed, according to now what has been filed
by prosecutors, etc. And then there was some more time
(21:32):
that passed before the hiker was able to call nine
one one and report the desks because part of the
park had no cell service. So then four days after
the murders, there was an intense man hut that ended
thirty miles from where it started. It's what I said.
He was at a hair salon getting his hair cut,
and when he was questioned by state police, he admitted
(21:55):
what he had done. He admitted to the crimes during
police questioning. He had no adult criminal history, so he
made his first court appearance on Friday morning in Fayetteville.
He wore a striped jail uniform, didn't speak except to
acknowledge his name. A judge granted McGann a public defender,
(22:17):
ordered him to remain in jail without bond pending his
arraignment on August twenty fifth. Here's what Sarah Huckabee, the
governor of Arkansas said.
Speaker 11 (22:29):
We are here in northwest Arkansaw a community that has
been absolutely heartbroken over the course of the almost last week.
Our entire state is grieving for the tragic loss and
senseless and horrific crime that's taken place in this area.
(22:52):
One of the worst experiences that certainly I've ever had
was making a phone call to the Brink family earlier
this week. Nothing like that should ever take place.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Wow. And thank goodness that people were able to see
little glimpses of him from that trail. A witness saw
him leaving the trail with blood on his face, and
he was able to identify the car even though there
was tape on the license plate, and also something to
kind of obscure the model of it, so that eventually
they were able to get him after those four days.
(23:31):
And what the stylist who was going to cut his
hair said, something felt off. He looked like he wasn't okay,
he was timid, his eyes were sunken, kind of soulless.
I'll say. Meanwhile, you had these passengers in the air.
Twenty five passengers had to be hospitalized. Was a delta
flight from Salt Lake City that was headed to Amsterdam.
(23:56):
So I said this before, imagine this, Wow woo, we're
going to Amsterdam. Let's kick back and relax. Its go
and be a little bit of a long flight. It
turned out to be a shorter flight because somewhere over
Wyoming the turbulence was so bad it forced the plane
to land in Minnie Applis last Wednesday. Twenty five passengers,
like I mentioned, were taking the hospitals for treatment, and
(24:18):
you should have seen the plane afterwards because they were
getting ready for beverage service. So the carts went flying.
All kinds of things flew in the air, people's cell phones,
people flew into the air and smashed against the top
of the plane. It was an air bus with two
hundred and seventy five passengers and thirteen crew members on board.
It was just two hours into its nine hour flight
(24:39):
when it had to be diverted. So paramedics immediately got
on the plane. They got the passengers and took them
to the hospitals. And you know, most of the people,
according to the people that were on board, so that
people weren't wearing their seatbelts that were thrown into the
air because they hit the ceiling and then they fell
on to the ground. So air turbulence is on the rise,
(25:03):
and so the reports of injuries are certainly on the
rise too. And I usually it seems like they always
have the seat belt sign on now unless and you
were unbuckling if you have to run to the restroom.
But boy, I think people are gonna be really, really careful.
And I think I don't know this for sure, but
I heard from somebody that I think at that point
(25:25):
the seat belt sign was not on. So it pretty
interesting and pretty sad. Luckily it ended up okay. They
got off, got the people off and did what you
you know, what you have to do. Here's what some
passengers said.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
It was like the plane rows rapidly up about five
hundred feet and then did somewhat of a nose diive
very rapidly down about fifteen hundred feet.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
There's a moment where we thought we were going down.
So I'm, you know, still shaking about it.
Speaker 10 (25:59):
It was fair very scary.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Very scary. I would feel the same way, that's for sure,
all right. Tariffs, tariffs tariffs, so much conversation about that.
Thursday night, New Terraffs officially imposed, signing the order for
that the start date of the import taxes pushed back
seven days so the tariff schedule could be updated. The
change in tariffs on sixty six countries, the European Union, Taiwan,
(26:25):
Falkland Islands all potentially welcome news to countries that had
yet had not yet reached a deal with the US.
And the dose of uncertainty for consumers, US businesses. What's
going to happen? What's this going to look like? So
let's see what happens with some of the I'm not
(26:47):
making a deal countries like India, and that was a
country that the President said, look, we we like them,
we have a good reputation with them, but so far nothing.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
India has been a good friend, but India has charged
basically more tariffs and almost any other country.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah. So here's the thing. There are countries that have
made the deal. The clock ticked toward all of this,
and then Canada, for example, Mark Carney, the Prime minister,
there's no movement there and the President has promised that
his tax increases on the nearly three trillion goods importance
to the United States, will usher in some new wealth
(27:32):
and will launch a whole bunch of new factory jobs,
reduce the budget deficits, and get other countries to treat
America with more respect. So this is still the ongoing process.
It's the thing that the Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell
always seems to bring up when he's asked about interest rates.
So the Fed meets again last week and they take
(27:58):
a vote, but still no cuts.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
The majority of view was was still what it has been,
which is that inflation is running above target, maximum employment
is right at target. That means policy policy should be
a little bit restrictive, somewhat restrictive because we want we
want inflation to move all the way back to its target.
So that's where people have been and still are. Two
(28:24):
of our members felt that the time had come to
cut and that they for the reasons that they're they're
going to express. I won't I won't tell you the
reasons they've they'll they'll issue some kind of of a
thing in the next day or so. So, but that's
the story. And I would say, you know, well, argued
very thoughtfully argued all around the table, good arguments, and uh,
(28:47):
you know, it's a situation where unusual situation. The economy
is in you know, good shape, but it's it's it's
an unusual situation where you have risks to both your
employment mandate and your inflation. That's the it's the nature
of a supply shock.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, and so this is another one where I'd say,
if we have a ray cut, maybe one cut the
way that it's looking at this point, we move from
the economy to the sad story of the nine year
old girl who drowned at Hershey Park. There's a lot
of conversation about that last week because finally a ruling
came out as to what it was the nine year
(29:26):
old who drowned in the wave park. It's been ruled accidental.
No criminal activity found on the part of the park's employees.
Sofia Subdy drowned on July twenty fourth in that pool.
A review by police concluded that the park did what
they were supposed to do safety standards wise, and that
(29:48):
the number of people in the pool at the time
was significantly less than it's designed as far as maximum
capacity is concerned. They had ten lifeguards working at the
wavepool when she drown. Witnesses and lifeguards responded immediately, is
what the police said, within seconds of noticing her distress.
(30:08):
And they still said they tried to save her, of course,
and they have sincere condolences to her family and friends
and that their hearts break for the child and the
child's family, and you know, adding that safety and well being.
This is what the CEO of the park said, drive
every decision they make a freak and other crazy strange
(30:31):
freak accent. Because there was ten lifeguards and you heard
what I said about how many people were in the pool,
So the number because the thought was, well, was there
too many people that was an over capacity? Were there
people not paying attention and didn't help soon enough, And
of course that wasn't the case that they did respond.
(30:54):
Just a really sad, terrible, terrible, terrible thing. And you
know those wavepools, you could get caught up in it.
I mean even as adults sometimes you see that we're
people suddenly it's just somehow you zig in the wrong
direction and it zags in the other direction, but especially
for kids. But all those warnings were definitely up there.
(31:16):
So anyway, the key thing is in our weekly rewind
they were cleared of it, but still very very tragic
for that family. Coming up your thoughts as we head
to the mailroom and we got the pre market bell.
Speaker 12 (31:35):
I'm going to the man Cave, going to.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
The mar Cave, to the mar Cave.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Ay, any thanks, We are in the man Cave. Welcome everybody.
By the way, I had Susie who asked me, Kate,
are women in the man Cave too? Yes, everyone's in
the man Cave. It's a figure speech. I wrote a
book called Invade the Man Cave in a way it is,
and it was all about sports of all sorts, and
I talk about how to boost your sports knowledge. It
(32:07):
was really so fun. I wrote a couple different editions
of it. It's out there on Amazon, Barnes and Noble,
all that kind of stuff. And so anyway, so this
segment is man came. We talked about sports here, sports
of all sorts, including the NFL. There is, I think
nothing like being at a Hall of Fame induction ceremony,
(32:29):
particularly if it's your team, your player that's inducted, somebody
you followed as a kid, as an adult, whatever. And
there were four that got in to the Hall of Fame.
It's the smallest class they've had since two thousand and five.
Jared Allen, Eric Allen, Sterling Sharp, and Antonio Gates. So
(32:54):
it's interesting, and I listened to all the speeches. I
just think it's besides when the Super bowls one of
those sacred moments for any football player, and so I
picked a couple out because it would take us a
long time to play all of them. Of course, Jared
Allen finished his Hall of Fame career with one hundred
and thirty six sacks, the twelfth most in NFL history.
(33:15):
Since sacks became a stat back in nineteen eighty two.
Is eight seasons with ten plus sacks, tied for the
six in NFL history. And the list goes on and
on with Eric Allen. So here's a little snippet. I
mean Jared Allen, that's Eric Allen. I was thinking of
(33:37):
Eric Allen too with the fifty four receptions, but Jared
Allen is who I was talking about. And this is
a snippet of his speech.
Speaker 10 (33:46):
Hy why I could be summed up with three things, fear, respect,
and the pursuit of greatness. And when I talk about fear,
I'm not talking about that type of fear that cripples
you and makes you avoid something. I'm talking about that
healthy fear of failure, that fear that motivates you to
(34:06):
do whatever you can to succeed. That type of fear
that lets you get knocked down and then realize you
don't want to get knocked down again, so you pick
yourself up, you learn, and you improve.
Speaker 12 (34:17):
And respect.
Speaker 10 (34:18):
I've only played this game for two reasons. The respect
of my peers and the respect of those who came
before me.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Here's what I love. He is a former Vikings defensive end,
played most of that twelve year career there, and he
got kind of choked up about it, you know, and
he he should have. He was really incredible. If you
go back and you look at any footage of him,
you remember watching him play, certainly, so he deserves to
be in the Hall of Fame, and he got that call.
(34:49):
So good for Jared Allen. I liked his speech. I
love what he said. They're Sterling Sharp, part of the
Brothers Sharp member's brother Shannon also in the Hall of
Fame there, the first brother brother duo there, which is
such a rare thing. And this is what he talked
about with his brother as one.
Speaker 9 (35:11):
Half of the first brothers selected to the Pro Football
Hall of Fame. You got to come up here and
stand next to me, my man, you got to do it.
(35:32):
You have to learn to follow before you can leave.
When Papa died and you were crying your eyes out,
I pray to God, do not let me cry. I
need to be strong for him, and God got me
through that.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, he's somebody I interviewed a couple a couple of
times in my career. Is such a nice guy. He
played wide out for, of course, Green Bay Packers. He
played college football for the South Carolina game Cocks in
the NFL. As far as that career eighty eight to
ninety four, his career got shortened by a neck injury.
Then he became an analyst for the NFL Network and
(36:16):
he's the older brother of Pro Football Hall of famers.
I mentioned tight end Shannon Sharp, so how about that
and talking about the father and what happened there and
he set all kinds of records, and I thought that
was a really, really great choice. There's always arguments over
who gets in, and we've had people on this show
(36:36):
who have the Hall of Fame vote, and it's interesting
to say what it is that gets them in. So then,
of course you talked about Antonio Gates. He's one of
the greatest receiving tight ends I think in NFL history,
nine hundred and fifty five catches for over eleven eight
hundred and forty one yards one hundred and sixteen touchdowns
during his sixteen year career and fun, fun, fun to watch.
(37:01):
Eric Allen I mentioned him finished with fifty four interceptions
in his career, six Pro Bowl selections, a first team
All Pro selection in nineteen eighty nine. His thirty four
interceptions were tied with Brian Dawkins and Bill Bradley for
the most in Eagles history. Fly Eagles Fly, and the
fifty four total interceptions twenty first in NFL history. Was
(37:23):
cool about his Hall of Fame speech is he talked
about his sons. He has a bunch of sons, and
he talked about them all and how proud he was
of them, and he focused a big chunk of what
he had to say about them. So congrat How was
some applause? Congratulations to all of them. It's really tough
to get into the Hall of Fame, as we have
learned through our various connections and interviews with people in
(37:47):
what it takes to get there. It's not always an
obvious route to do that. Let's just put it that way.
Katie Ledcie, Katie La Deci setting all kinds of records.
Boy oh boy, she is one of the all time best,
and she proves it again and again. How many records
(38:08):
has she broken? So she wins again in the American swimmers,
set relay world records. She's unbeaten in the eight hundred freestyle.
Here's what she said about that afterwards.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
I had to go the whole way. I mean the
last hundred. You know, I don't know what you felt,
but it's like you don't want to push it too
early because you know, then you get a little afraid
that you're gonna die at the end. So it was
definitely just trying to build in each hundred and yeah,
just keep going.
Speaker 13 (38:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
They were all in Singapore for this, for the World Championships.
And it's interesting she won her first race in twenty
twelve in the Olympics and has never lost since in
a major competition. We're about the eight hundred freestyle, think
about the dominance in that incredible and then the relay
(38:59):
team and wow again, really fun to watch Team USA
because I think when we get closer to the Olympics
and it's one of my favorites. It's one of my
favorite things to watch in the Olympics. Probably a lot
of you too. Ladeki's won twenty three gold medals at
World Championships, thirty overall, nine Olympic gold medals, fourteen Olympic
(39:23):
medals overall, if you're counting, that's what forty four my math.
Forty four Olympic and World medals. Wow, wow, wow wow.
How about some Team USA. Love for that? Usa USA?
I like it for sure. Let's turn to Major League baseball.
(39:46):
It was an interesting week in a Major League baseball
So a bunch of highlights, call a couple of games.
I'll pick some of them apart for you, the ones
I know you care about because you're always asking me
to tell me what happened in that game. Cardinals, Pod,
He's got the better of you, seven to three out
of Petgo Park. And what did that game look like?
I saw some of the highlights or low lights. If
(40:08):
you're listening to me in the great State of Missouri
in Saint Louis and you look at Dylan Sees, who
was just amazing. He allowed one hit over five innings.
That's part of the problem, striking out nine and that's
the thing. So the Padres won for the seventh time
in eight games. There are three games behind the NL
West leading Dodgers. And for the Cardinals, you know, they
(40:32):
got on the board at the top of the ninth
bases loaded singles, but it wasn't enough. They could not
break that open. So the Cardinals traveled to Los Angeles
to pay the Dodgers on Monday, and we'll see if
they turn that around, right, they'll turn it around. Of course,
there's plenty of time, a lot of road left in
(40:57):
the MLB season, although it seems like time just flies,
doesn't it. Okay, Diamondback fans picked up their fifty third
win six' four over The. A's how did that? Happen
Blaze Alexander homer to help the D backs beat The
a's On, Sunday and then they played a little bit
(41:18):
of small ball. Too that also helped secure that. Win
and The diamondbacks especially scored three runs in the second
against a rookie. Pitcher that made a big. Difference Jack,
perkins who gave up five hits and walked three in three,
innings and they picked that one. Up so it's a
(41:40):
big win for them because they need to break open
to get deeper into the. Fifties if they're gonna go,
anywhere you got to get closer to that sixty sixty sixty,
sixty all, right believe it or, Not, boy the man
cave just flew. By oh wait till you Meet Joshua seth.
Next he is incredibly. Talented Think, digimond think A, kiro
(42:01):
think voiceover. Incredible you don't want to miss this. Conversation,

Speaker 12 (43:41):
THAT i like.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
IT i could have a career as a professional. Introducer.
Speaker 8 (43:46):
Absolutely so that is a.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
Lot but let's start back to the. Beginnings when you
were a kid In. Ohio growing up In, ohio could
you have ever have imagined what you've.
Speaker 8 (43:57):
Accomplished, YES i never felt LIKE i belonged. THERE i
REALLY i grew up in the.
Speaker 12 (44:04):
COUNTRY i, mean my parents are professional, people they were both,
psychologists but WHAT i was surrounded by were cows and.
Speaker 8 (44:13):
CORNFIELDS i mean the real.
Speaker 12 (44:15):
COUNTRY i mean my, PETS i had a, chicken a,
goat and a monkey.
Speaker 8 (44:21):
WHEN i was growing up at different.
Speaker 12 (44:22):
Times SO i was like a circus right not far,
off and five horses THAT i had to feed before.
Speaker 8 (44:28):
School and ALL i wanted to do.
Speaker 12 (44:29):
Was get the hell out of there and move TO
la Or New York. City EVENTUALLY i did both and you.
Speaker 8 (44:35):
Know be on the stage or be on the.
Speaker 12 (44:37):
Screen, YEAH i had this idea starting, well as the legend,
goes WHEN i was eight years old AND i walked
into a theater for the first time and forced myself
in front of the producer and the director that were
casting a show THAT i wasn't even up.
Speaker 8 (44:51):
For get me on the.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Stage, yeah, yeah so you knew. It but as you,
said you grew up in the. Country you go to
when you get out of high, school you go to
the very Prestigious New York University Tish school of The,
arts and you must have learned a lot.
Speaker 9 (45:07):
There.
Speaker 8 (45:08):
Yeah that was, well that's HOW i became a voice.
Speaker 12 (45:11):
Actor WHEN i make the comic count, appearances they always asked,
that you, know how do you get into? This and
it really started with my, dad who was a radio.
Psychologist do you remember that old Show. Fraser he was
like a real Life fraser Before. Fraser so he built
his practice in Northeastern ohio by having the number ONE
am at the. Time it WAS am talk radio show
(45:35):
in that region all WHILE i was growing, up and
so many TIMES i would go to the radio station
and see the karts and the production and even be
on the mike and stuff like.
Speaker 8 (45:43):
That SO i was very familiar with.
Speaker 12 (45:45):
Radio and WHEN i went From ohio to the Big
city To manhattan to go to, college everything was very
unfamiliar except for the radio.
Speaker 8 (45:54):
Station SO i got myself a SHOW, Wnyu New York,
city fifty thousand, watts going out to three.
Speaker 12 (46:02):
States and it wasn't THAT i wanted to be a,
broadcaster but it just felt.
Speaker 8 (46:06):
Very, familiar and it was in the performance sort of.
Speaker 12 (46:08):
ENVIRONMENT i didn't have a lot of performing, opportunities of,
course growing up At ohio OH i do have to
mention this.
Speaker 8 (46:14):
Though before we jump.
Speaker 12 (46:15):
Ahead so by that point WHEN i went to, COLLEGE
i had had over one thousand theater shows in front
of paying audiences in equity equity performing. Situation because WHEN
i was eight years, old the local what wasn't really
a community theater.
Speaker 7 (46:34):
Was it was The it was the theater where The
broadway musicals would go to work out the touring version
of their productions In, Akron, ohio AND i just happened to,
live you, know twenty thirty minutes from, there and they
were casting brigadoone and they needed a redheaded, child and
my younger brother had red hair and was not.
Speaker 8 (46:54):
Interested and.
Speaker 7 (46:57):
As the story, GOES i just walked right up to
the table where they.
Speaker 12 (47:01):
Were doing the, casting just cut the line in front
of everybody and, Said i'll do whatever it. Takes you
can paint freckles on my face and dye my hair, red,
like let's. Go and they did not cast, me but
they remembered my.
Speaker 8 (47:13):
Name i'm a big believer in self.
Speaker 12 (47:15):
Promotion and the next show they were casting was the
touring version Of Yule Brenner's The king AND i as
they Left broadway to go on, tour they cast me
As Prince Chella, longcorn which is the child. Lead and
it was eight shows for eight, weeks and THEN i
was in every production they did from the TIME i
was eight to. Eighteen so by the TIME i got TO,
NYU i had really paid my dues AND i had
(47:37):
my chops as a. Performer so WHEN i started that radio,
SHOW i was very fluid on the mic and speaking
extemporaneously and there was no, hesitation.
Speaker 8 (47:48):
You, know in terms of broadcasting or anything like. That
so the show did. WELL i did it throughout my
time AT.
Speaker 12 (47:54):
Nyu but one day my air conditioner broke AND i was.
Hot and, this this is really what launched my voice acting,
career is that my air conditioner broke AND i just
wanted to cool, down and SO i went to this
art house movie theater In manhattan that was playing this
(48:15):
very interesting movie with a red motorcycle on the.
Speaker 8 (48:17):
Front, actually you see the movie behind. Me for the
listeners at, Home joshua is pointing to this.
Speaker 12 (48:24):
Wall of DVDs of movies that he's, voiced and one
of them is that's displayed is A. Kira back to
our show already in, progress all, Right so that movie
with the red with the red, motorcycle that's A. Kira
it's on every critics list of the number one anime
movie of all.
Speaker 8 (48:41):
Time and for good.
Speaker 12 (48:42):
Reason it's art and it allowed anime to break through
To american, audiences and it showed that animation can be
more than just for.
Speaker 8 (48:52):
Kids this is very much for. Adults, ANYWAY i saw that.
Speaker 12 (48:54):
Movie it blew my, mind AND i hatched a plan
to use the radio show to create a, demo AND
i use that demo to get an agent In Los,
Angeles and a week after, GRADUATING i moved out there
And i'm.
Speaker 8 (49:06):
Like, Yes i'm a voice. Actor Now i'm gonna voice an.
Speaker 12 (49:09):
Anime but there was a flaw on my, Plan, kate
do you know what the flaw?
Speaker 8 (49:12):
Was it was hard to get a. Job, no it
didn't even. Exist there was no anime, yet nothing was going.
Speaker 7 (49:18):
ON i was.
Speaker 12 (49:19):
Years early to, that So i'd always had like a
lifelong interest in. Magic SO i started doing magic at
kid's birthday parties just to pay the bills WHILE i
started auditioning and here and there getting a.
Speaker 8 (49:32):
Gig you. Know my first commercial.
Speaker 12 (49:34):
Was, Mom, dad can we go To? Disneyland which is you,
know national. Commercial and you, KNOW i was, like, okay
Now i'm a working voice. Actor, no a month goes,
by two months goes, by, nothing and then, oh one
one episode of Rug, rats you, know another month or
two one episode Of Hey arnold you just stuff like,
that and then EVENTUALLY i got cast to replace another
(49:57):
voice actor as the voice of the robot in the
late nies on.
Speaker 8 (50:00):
A little shell Called Power. Rangers perhaps you've heard of,
It oh, yeah ay Ay.
Speaker 12 (50:06):
Ai SO i took over the voice Of alpha Five
danger and THEN i met the everybody working At, saban
Which Heim, saban the now billionaire at the. Time he
used the success Of Power rangers to launch a network
Called Fox kids and that, network the flagship show that
(50:28):
they launched it with Was. Digimon and that's HOW i
was in a position to be able to land the
main Character, ti the leader of The, digimon WHICH i.
Speaker 8 (50:38):
Have now voiced.
Speaker 12 (50:39):
For, well this will be the twenty sixth year we
had the HIT tv, show the millennial iconic touchstone Of
digimon the, movie And i've actually voiced that main character
in all nine movies and we're still. Going it's the
seventy fifth highest grossing media franchise in the.
Speaker 8 (50:57):
World.
Speaker 1 (50:58):
Wow AND i think Of, tie it's such a recognizable.
Voice what's that been like for? You and, See i'm
going back to this question BECAUSE i always, think did
you ever think it would be that? SUCCESSFUL i, mean
you believed in, it but did you think it was
gonna be that? Big?
Speaker 12 (51:12):
No, no because there was no streaming back. Then there
were no social media, channels there's no. YouTube so when
we would record a, show it would play On saturday,
morning and then in that first season it was the
number one animated show On saturday morning. Television you remember
That saturday MORNING. Tv and then it was every day after.
(51:34):
School so all these millennials WHEN i do The Comic con,
appearances they all.
Speaker 8 (51:38):
Come up and, say thank you for making my childhood.
Speaker 12 (51:40):
Great we'd, run my brother AND i would run home
from the school bus and sit down in front of
THE tv and listen to you you, know a voice
digimon and pretty much everything else that you see, here
all these like other hundred movies and shows as a
result of that, success including which we can get into.
Later HOW i ended up voicing the main character In
akira seven years after having seen. It that that was
(52:03):
when the voice acting career came full. Circle BUT i
had no idea that decades later people would still be
watching this stuff because it's on demand On, Hulu like
you can see it right, now right well not, now
but you, know after listening To Amazing, americans then you
could turn on The hulu and you could see you,
know many or the crunchy. ROLE a lot of my
(52:23):
shows are on crunchy role as well now and so
you could see it at any, time and some new
new generations are being introduced to. It AND i have
fans that are, millennials, which believe it or, not they're
in their thirties, now and then their children are growing
up watching this. Too so, no there was no way
to conceive of the fact that that would. Happen what
(52:43):
what do people.
Speaker 1 (52:44):
Not know about voice over that maybe you didn't know.
INITIALLY i, mean obviously you have a. Voice in just
this short, period we can tell because you can switch
the tone of your voice to doing a, character almost
an announcer. Voice so you have that, gift and there
is a gift you CAN'T i think some people, think,
(53:07):
WELL i have deep. PIPES i can just walk into
a studio and open a mic and That's there's more
to it than.
Speaker 8 (53:12):
That, yeah, Yeah well.
Speaker 12 (53:16):
A couple things come to, Mind. Kate one is that
your voice is an. Instrument so just because you have
an interesting sounding voice doesn't mean that you know how
to play all the notes in your. Instrument now you
can do very well only playing in a very limited.
RANGE i, Mean Bob doan's done pretty well and he
sings about four notes and that's being, generous but there's
(53:39):
so much more to.
Speaker 8 (53:40):
It so you can learn to use that instrument.
Speaker 12 (53:43):
And exercise it as you would any other muscle group
in your body and find that vocal.
Speaker 8 (53:50):
Flexibility anyone can do.
Speaker 1 (53:52):
That we come back voicing a main character in A.
Kiro next ON atm we're back With Joshua. Seth, joshua
how did you gland a role in A?
Speaker 12 (54:12):
Kira the producers In japan have specifically asked for you
to Voice, tetsuo Which tetsuo.
Speaker 8 (54:18):
Is he's the, villain but he is.
Speaker 12 (54:21):
Essentially he is a. Keira he is the force that
threatens to blow Up Neo. Tokyo and if you haven't seen,
it it is sort of like the anime version Of Blade.
Runner and if you haven't Seen Blade, runner why like
this is? Great why around the same time that they came,
out these these movies are cyberpunk movies and without them
(54:43):
there wouldn't have been The. Matrix for, instance The worshowskis
asked the cast and crew of The matrix to Watch
akira before they started filming because they said this is
the vibe that we are going.
Speaker 8 (54:53):
To SO i got that. CALL i didn't have to.
Speaker 12 (54:55):
Audition only time that ever happened where it was simply
handed to. Me AND i realized that my entire journey
as a voice actor had come full. Circle so a
few years, LATER i QUIT. WOW i LEFT la BECAUSE
i already accomplished my.
Speaker 8 (55:09):
Call, RIGHT i did WHAT i set out to.
Speaker 12 (55:12):
DO i only really still voice A digimond because that's
my legacy character and it's my own voice, basically SO
i don't want to let it.
Speaker 1 (55:19):
Go it's funny because you talk about that, journey and
then you talked about how you had to make ends
meet and worked in the, magic WHICH i saw you
as the. Mentalist that was mind blowing what you. DID
i couldn't figure it. OUT i was trying so. HARD
i feel LIKE i burned some brain. Cells but how
did that? Happen and how did that then morph into
(55:40):
this incredible skill you have that you've taken all over the.
Speaker 8 (55:43):
World, really thank. You it's a real.
Speaker 12 (55:45):
PASSION i really really loved doing the show to the
point Where i'll fly halfway around the world for a
chance to just be on a stage for forty five.
Speaker 8 (55:54):
Minutes or an.
Speaker 12 (55:55):
HOUR i, mean who in the right mind would do
that except for an entertainer who's just loves it more than,
anything you, know other than my children and.
Speaker 8 (56:04):
Wife but it's been around.
Speaker 12 (56:06):
Longer so back in the, nineties, YEAH i had to
make ends. MADE i had to pay the bills in
some way WHILE i was auditioning and not booking things
BECAUSE i wasn't very good as a voice.
Speaker 8 (56:18):
Actor it takes time to develop these.
Speaker 12 (56:20):
Skills and, HONESTLY i wasn't very good as a magician,
either BUT i was good enough to book kids, parties
SO i did a lot of kids.
Speaker 8 (56:27):
Parties in, FACT i did so many part of.
Speaker 12 (56:32):
It i'm not Gonna i'm not going to toot my
own hold too much here and SAY i was such
a good magician THAT i was booked so much in
the nineties that THAT i opened an. Agency, no the
REASON i opened an agency was BECAUSE i was good at.
Marketing so what happened WAS i started getting so many
calls as a result of the. Marketing and this there's
a saying in marketing that marketing is marketing is, Marketing,
(56:54):
right it doesn't really matter what your marketing or to
whom these principles are the, Same so we didn't have
a lot of the tools that make it a lot easier,
now Like Google ads And facebook ads and things like
that that give you reach for. Pennies back then you
had to BUY i bought double quarter column display ads
in the phone books.
Speaker 8 (57:14):
AUDIENCE a phone book is a list of phone.
Speaker 12 (57:17):
Numbers For the yellow pages would be for, businesses and
the white pages would be for how do people know
right you're if you're under a certain, age like let's
say UNDER i don't, know forty thirty five phone book
phone books for these Thick that's how people found stuff Before.
Google Before, google you had to advertise In Los angeles
in every single phone book and every single kids. Publication
(57:41):
well let me tell, You, KATE i went seventy thousand
dollars in debt in my twenties on credit, cards opening
this agency and starting this. Business but within less than two,
YEARS i would, say like a year and a, HALF
i was booking one thousand shows a, year which is
only it's like twenty shows a, weekend like twenty five
shows a Week AND i had all my friends going
(58:03):
out doing shows THAT i trained them to. Do and
THEN i would take the best ones for, myself the corporate,
events these celebrity, events things like, that and then all
the normal ones.
Speaker 8 (58:13):
WOULD i would give to all these other.
Speaker 12 (58:14):
People AND i kept that going for five or six
years Until disney sued me AND i settled AND i
sold the.
Speaker 8 (58:20):
Agency, yeah it's.
Speaker 12 (58:22):
All, right why a, Bridge but because we were also
doing custom characters and, stuff and they, said, well you,
know like allowing a misperception to exist in the mind
of the customer's tantamount to copyright. Infringement And i'm, like
but we're not sending out you know, Whatever Mickey, Mouse
winnie The, pooh whatever it. Was we're sending out some generic.
Character BUT i didn't want to fight. It and already,
again i'd sort of accomplished that. GOAL i bought a
(58:44):
house with kids party magic money in The Los, ANGELES
i really.
Speaker 8 (58:49):
AND i had accompassed the. Goal SO i, thought you know,
WHAT i didn't come out here to be an agent.
Speaker 12 (58:53):
ANYWAY i know how to sell, Now SO i sold
it off for pieces of the, business and THEN i
really honed in on the magic and around the time
That digimon, hit which would have been ninety eight or ninety,
nine that's around the time THAT i sold That Kid's
Magic Company Kids Entertainment company really and focused on the
(59:14):
magic and one of the it's interesting when you meet
people in, life how those connections lead to other things
that can really expand the possibilities in your life and your.
Career so one of the people THAT i used to
send out to do those kids parties turns out she
was the receptionist at a place called The Magic castle In, Hollywood,
california which is the premiere performing venue for magicians in the.
(59:37):
World and it was like five minutes from WHERE i.
Lived but, again because this is before The, INTERNET i
had no idea that it.
Speaker 8 (59:43):
Existed so she told me about.
Speaker 12 (59:44):
It she's, like you, know you're performing a lot more
than our professional many of our professional.
Speaker 8 (59:48):
Members you should be a. Member SO i went. DOWN
i loved. It it's a private.
Speaker 12 (59:52):
Club it has multiple performing, rooms a big stage or a,
parlor which was my, favorite or a close up room or.
Magic there's all kinds of magic going on seven nights a,
week some of the best magicians in the, world and
SO i, AUDITIONED i. JOINED i was there almost every
night for a couple of years UNTIL i competed in
and then. Won joshua was pointing to some plaques and
(01:00:17):
a tiny little award behind. Him let's, Say Magic Castle
Olympics Gold medal. Winner why is it tiny because the
really Big Winners cup that's in The Magic. Castle so
if you ever go, there look for my, name it's
right in the. Front that's what launched my touring, career
except THAT i couldn't LEAVE la BECAUSE i was voicing
(01:00:38):
on all these. Series SO i attempted to do both
careers at a high level for another five or six
years until, WELL i guess two thousand and, seven so
maybe six or seven.
Speaker 8 (01:00:49):
YEARS i was younger THAN i had a lot of.
Speaker 12 (01:00:51):
Energy but one DAY i came home from doing a
lot of shows over the weekend and THEN i had
a full slate of recording sessions for the next, week
AND i remember lying down on the hardwood floor of
the of the living room in my little home In
burbank and just not being able to get, up just
feeling like there was a weight on my.
Speaker 8 (01:01:11):
Chest this pressure had gotten to me AND i just
had to make a.
Speaker 12 (01:01:16):
Decision it hit me all at once like, that LIKE
i have to go one direction or the, other either
the magic or the voiceovers because Otherwise i'm going to
get myself a heart.
Speaker 8 (01:01:23):
Attack and WHEN.
Speaker 12 (01:01:25):
I stood, UP i was, like it's gonna be the
magic Because i've always wanted to tour And i've never
had a chance to go on. Tour and AFTER i
won The Magic, OLYMPICS i had agents telling, Me, hey
you can do the college, circuit you can do the
cruise ship, circuit you can do comedy, clubs you, know
all of Which i've done. Now BUT i couldn't do
BECAUSE i couldn't Leave. La SO i wound up all
my serious, commitments sold my house IN la and went
(01:01:47):
on the, road and THEN i did about four hundred
colleges over the next several years on The naka circuit
and about two hundred cruise. Ships cruise ship gigs are.
Great people make fun of those, entertainers but a lot
of them are really. Good it's a wonderful lifestyle if
you don't have, kids and they would fly me to another,
country put me up in a. RESORT i joined the
ship already in. Progress i'd do a show for a
(01:02:09):
thousand people sold out because they didn't pay anything for the, show,
right they just show up and twice in an, evening
and then that was.
Speaker 8 (01:02:16):
It THEN i got to take a cruise and get
paid for.
Speaker 12 (01:02:18):
It and then BECAUSE i didn't have, kids then they'd
let me off in another country And i'd, say, Well
i'll just stay here for a week or two until
the next, gig and i'd be In, thailand or i'd
be In, italy or i'd be In jamaica or whatever
and hang out and explore and see the, world and
then they'd fly me to the next. Ship AND i
did a lot And, princess and then eventually they were
all On disney Because disney really values. Entertainment, surprise. Surprise
(01:02:42):
and THEN i had, kids and THEN i stopped doing
those BECAUSE i didn't want to be gotten for a
week at a. Time and THEN i went into corporate,
entertainment so that worked out pretty well.
Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
Too wow well of doing the magic. SHOWS i, mean
you went to so many amazing. Places and this is
a hard, question but was there one place that was
just blew your, mind like you can't believe you've been flown? Here,
yeah you were here on a boat.
Speaker 12 (01:03:05):
Whatever usually the dangerous places That americans typically don't go,
to they're very. Interesting BECAUSE i felt Like i'm in
a foreign. Country when you go to The, caribbean it's.
Speaker 8 (01:03:15):
Like, okay, well what's.
